way to get screenshots in DS games on 3DS with CFW?

[xmenfan2001]

i know i can get screenshots using the rosalina menu in luma, but since i'm playing a wild world cart with my 3DS, the select button won't bring up the rosalina menu even when i hit L+Down+Select, and instead just brings up the chat function and i can't pause to my home menu, because it's a DS game. do i have the wrong shortcut maybe? is it something i have to enable before i can actually use it?

No. its simply that the menu only works in the 3ds firm mode. Ds games launch into the twl firm mode which does not allow for the luma menu to work. there aint anyway around getting it to work, as they are both separate firms with separate coding.

If you use nds-bootstrap you can take screenshots, though only of the 'main' screen. It's the same L + Down + SELECT button combo by default (though can be changed in TWiLight Menu++ settings) then just select Screenshot. It'll then be saved inside sd:/_nds/nds-bootstrap/screenshots.tar. See the FAQs I linked for more details.

To install it, see the TWiLight Menu++ or forwarder install guides.

Only through TWiLight Menu++. You can however dump the ROM and save file and inject the save file back in after if you want.

One or both screens?
